Maintaining the correct opening temperature protects the engine from the damage caused by running too hot or too cold, and a worn or stuck thermostat is a common cause of overheating alarms and inconsistent engine temperatures. This thermostat is constructed of metal for durability in the marine cooling system environment and is engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18-3500 is a direct fit for specific Evinrude outboard models and years as listed below, and it cross-references to OEM part number 437090, making it a straightforward like-for-like replacement during routine cooling system maintenance or when troubleshooting an overheating condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-3500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282159689\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces (OEM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 437090\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evinrude E115 (1997); Evinrude E135, E150, E175 (2000-06)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvinrude E115 (1997)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvinrude E135, E150, E175 (2000-06)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e437090\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat temperature rating is the Sierra 18-3500 thermostat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3500 is a 140 degree F thermostat, meaning it begins to open at that temperature to regulate engine cooling water flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Evinrude outboards does the 18-3500 thermostat fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It fits the Evinrude E115 (1997 model year) and the Evinrude E135, E150, and E175 (2000-06 model years).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sierra 18-3500 replace OEM part 437090?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-3500 is a direct cross-reference to OEM part number 437090.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 18-3500 thermostat made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of metal, providing durability for use in the marine engine cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-3500 thermostat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.05 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-3500 a genuine OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a Sierra-manufactured replacement thermostat engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original 437090 part it replaces, not a repackaged OEM component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a stuck or worn thermostat cause my outboard to overheat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a failed thermostat is a common cause of overheating alarms and inconsistent running temperature, which is why replacing it with a correctly rated part like the 18-3500 is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-3500 fit engines outside the listed Evinrude E115\/E135\/E150\/E175 range?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fitment for the 18-3500 is confirmed for the Evinrude E115 (1997) and E135, E150, E175 (2000-06); it should not be assumed to fit other models or years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 18-3500?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes one Sierra 18-3500 140 degree F thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat UPC does the Sierra 18-3500 thermostat use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this thermostat is 808282159689.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I identify the correct replacement thermostat by the OEM number 437090?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, OEM number 437090 cross-references directly to the Sierra 18-3500 thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988149612763,"sku":"SIE-18-3500","price":27.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-3500__00571.1737875979.500.750.jpg?v=1785188170","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/marine-thermostat-140f-for-evinrude-johnson-3-cylinder-90-degree-looper-outboards-replaces-omc-394409-434137-sierra-18-3500","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
